Pre-order Hard Wired through a participating indie bookstore between now and July 7, and receive the following:

* $1 will be donated on your behalf to the ACLU. (Specifically, ACLU Colorado.) The ACLU plays a big role in the book, and I’m a big believer in civil liberties — especially freedom of speech and freedom of the press — so I wanted to use this opportunity to give something back.

* You will receive an exclusive, free download for a AWAKE, a song written and recorded by the Bookshop Band, and inspired by Hard Wired. You’ll also receive a link to the exclusive video. (The song and video won’t be available to the general public until June 1, 2020.)

* You’ll receive a signed bookplate with an original design by local Denver artist and writer, Elise Gotta. You’ll get one of these four, limited designs.

* Aaaaaannnnnddddd….. You’ll be supporting indie bookstores!!!!
